I could make fake headlines on a dozen topics that would get lemmy to upvote me like crazy. Place information that conforms to someone’s belief system under their nose, ya got 'em. Works best if the headline is rage inducing.
Even when revealed as fake, people tend to fall back on, “Well that headline may be fake, but it’s still happening in the real world.”
Just came off a post where half the commenters obviously didn’t read the article, not even the first paragraph. People get beat up on here daily for simply stating an uncomfortable, yet incontrovertible, fact.
This happened just yesterday with a post from Tom’s hardware.
Said that Linux gaming was upto 30% faster than Windows.
The testing was flawed for anyone that looked at the source video, the hardware was running at different power limits and this higher clock speeds for gpu and cpu.
People started talking major shit against windows because of it.
